Microsoft Outlook Help Please

[windjammer]

Last Saturday I encountered a problem with my email using Microsoft Outlook. There was an email that locked it up. I couldn't do anything with it and had to get a guy over to help.

He finally got it working but in the fixing I lost my personal folder. The personal folder was very handy. You can drag things into it just like you can do with drafts.

The personal folder is a option that can be added. The option is buried some where in the program. I stumbled across it a couple years ago. I can't find it again. I've been looking since Sunday.

I know there are some Microsoft Outlook experts here on the forum. Could any of you offer me advise.

Seems to me as though I had to open a sub-menu and check a box to activate it ... but I can't find it now.

I used Microsoft Customer Service for help with a virus problem recently. They fixed all my problems,upgraded some stuff and added some new stuff all for no charge. I'll bet Outlook Express repair won't be any problem. 1-800-936-5700

It sounds like the folder was minimized, which causes it to disappear. Solution.
Open Outlook. On the far left column, third line down is a line called "Mail Folders". Click on the arrows and it should reveal the minimized folders called "All Mail Folders" and your personal folders should be there. Good luck.

To create a personal folder, when looking at your in box. go to the column on the left entitled "Mail" that lists stuff like "mailbox," "deleted items," "drafts," "inbox," etc. In that column, in my case below "search folders," right click. Choose "new folder" and call it whatever you want. That crreates an offline folder to store stuff in. I maintain a whole bunch of them, based on sent items and received items. I break 'em up by year or half year. Works for me anyway. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip Onomea .. I didn't know that. I just did it and it works.
